PMI is different for FHA, Va, and Conventional

Didier Malagies • June 17, 2024

VA Mortgages have no monthly PMI, they have a funding fee that goes on top of the loan and it varies from a first-time VA buyer to a second-time user if there is a certain percentage of disability then no funding fee.

With an FHA Mortgage, there is an upfront funding fee of 1.75% and a .55 factor for monthly PMI.

Now for Conventional Mortgages, there is no upfront funding fee only a monthly PMI and that depends on your credit scores and down payment on your home.

With an excellent credit score, the monthly PMI factor can be at .1 and up


It is good to know because your interest rate is predicated on your credit score and also the PMI can be a factor as well on Conventional loans.

Here are the anticipated conforming loan limits for Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac for 2026 (pending official announcement by the Federal Housing Finance Agency): 819,000 is the new loan amount, so you can buy a home for $862,105 and only put 5% down to keep in conforming  Interesting how prices of homes have come down, and the loan amounts have increased, so it's another way of not having to go to Jumbo financing.
